Guardianship law and muslim women

---

The book Guardianship Law and Muslim Women examines the legal concept and practice of guardianship (wilayah) and its implications for the rights and autonomy of Muslim women. It analyzes guardianship provisions within Islamic jurisprudence, national legal systems, and customary practices, highlighting how these frameworks affect women’s access to marriage, mobility, education, employment, and legal capacity. Through a critical legal and gender perspective, the book explores debates between traditional interpretations and reformist approaches, as well as the role of state law and human rights standards in challenging discriminatory practices. It underscores the need for legal reforms and contextual interpretations that uphold women’s dignity, equality, and full enjoyment of their rights within Muslim societies.
